M417

The M417 (Real name HK 417 for Heckler & Koch 417) is a German made Battle Rifle. It's one of ten weapons available in the Close Quarters Expansion Pack.

It's similar in design to the M416, but it uses the larger 7.62x51mm NATO round.

The M417 is an accurate, but not very powerful, battle rifle. If anything, it's like a US counterpart to the SKS in Battlefield 3. Using it with a low powered or no magnification optic for run and gun style would be better than sniping with it.
